Forcher Unit #1 (API 42-009-34436) is a plugged well in Archer County, plugged February 15, 1996, last operated by Walsh & Watts Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 10, 1980, permitted to 3,600 ft.
It was permitted by Steinberger, Gerald and has since transferred to Walsh & Watts Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.1K barrels of oil and 10 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in April 1996. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
